After some time, the exploration team arrived near the platform. When they looked at it from a distance, they already felt that the platform was magnificent.
When I came to the side, I felt even more insignificant.
Each step of this platform is nearly one meter high and nearly ten meters wide. It can be said that each step is a small platform.
Obviously, such stairs are not for humans to walk on.
Yin Meng raised her head, looked up at the stone steps and said, "This should be a place for worshipping gods. The pyramid-shaped building on top is a temple and also the residence of the gods."
"These stone steps are so huge that they must not be prepared for humans, but for the use of gods."
"Master Tianyang, look at those stone statues."
Tianyang looked at the stone steps and saw human-shaped stone statues placed on both sides at regular intervals. He had not noticed them before because they were too far away.
Now, when we observe closely, we find that these stone statues are all half-kneeling on the ground, and the angle of the stone statues is facing the middle of the stone steps.
In this way, whoever climbs up the stairs is equivalent to being worshipped by these stone statues.
Tianyang knew that Yinmeng interpreted this building through religious beliefs, but Tianyang thought her interpretation made sense.
"Judging from the architecture of this city, they should have mastered quite advanced technology. I think this platform should have a lifting tool like an elevator."
"Even if it's a temple, it needs daily maintenance, and there should be clergy coming in and out on normal days."
Tianyang patted the stone steps in front of him and said, "We can't let people climb up. Besides, this stone staircase is a sacred path, and residents should not be allowed to approach and climb."
Yin Meng nodded, agreeing with Tianyang's judgment.
Tianyang smiled and said, "Even if we find the elevator, it should be unusable."
"Everyone, work hard, let's climb up."
Tianyang said, and rushed forward.
Although the stone steps are quite high, for him, climbing such steps is not much different from walking on flat ground.
Not to mention him, even the soldiers in the team, a height of 1 meter is not a very troublesome obstacle for them.
They simply pushed and pushed with their hands and climbed up the stone steps.
Some even sprinted forward and jumped directly up.
As for Yin Meng and other Silver Crown Knights, they also walked away easily.
When climbing up the stone steps, Tianyang noticed that most of the steps were cracked, and dark green vines grew from these cracks.
However, these vines had already died, and they turned into black dust with the slightest touch.
He came to a stone statue. This human-shaped stone statue was half-kneeling on the ground, and it should have been holding an iron spear in its hand.
But there were cracks on the stone statue in many places, the hand holding the spear was broken, and the spear fell to the ground.
Tianyang picked it up casually and felt that the spear was heavy. He knocked it lightly and it made a ding sound.
I don't know what metal this spear is made of. It has been through all the wind and sand in the adverse world, but it is not rusted at all.
The tip of the spear is still sharp, which shows that the forging technology is very advanced.
However, the spear was too heavy, so Tianyang put it down and had no intention of taking it back to the scholars in the "Wisdom Wilderness" for research.
Going further up, I suddenly saw a human corpse lying on the stone steps. It looked similar to the human outside the door.
The corpse was lying on the ground in a kneeling posture, and the clothes on its body had already turned into fibers.
There are patches of dark grey objects of varying sizes distributed on the bones, which look a bit like moss, and have white hairs growing on the surface.
After Yin Meng and others arrived, they took photos of the corpse, left files, and continued to explore upwards.
When he was about to reach the high platform square, Tianyang discovered some stone tablets that replaced the previous stone sculptures.
There were rows of strange symbols on the stone tablet. Tianyang recognized them. These symbols were the same as the characters used in the diary he wrote in the "Upside Down City".
So he asked Yin Meng to record it with an instrument and show it to Gao Xinghu when they got back.
Since there were quite a few stone tablets, it took some time to record these inscriptions.
While Yin Meng and the others were recording the inscription, Tian Yang reached the summit first.
When we arrived at the high platform square, we realized how huge the brazier we saw before was. Its width reached an exaggerated ten meters.
If such a huge brazier were lit, the flames would surely shoot up into the sky and be visible throughout the city!
Looking at the thick square stone pillar behind the brazier, I saw that the pillar was engraved with the same anti-world characters, and at the very top, on the top of the stone pillar, there was an eye carved on each column surface.
Those eyes looked around, as if they had been staring at this world for tens of millions of years.
At this time, a voice was heard behind him. Tianyang turned around and saw Yinmeng and the others coming up.
When they arrived at the square, they saw the huge brazier and many people exclaimed in admiration.
I couldn't help but imagine how spectacular the scene would be when the flames were burning in the brazier.
At this moment, Tianyang suddenly had an idea and looked towards the entrance of the temple.
In the deep entrance of the temple, a figure flashed by.
If Tianyang hadn't had sharp ears and eyes, he would have missed it.
At least, even a Silver Crown Knight like Yin Meng didn't notice anything unusual, let alone other people.
Tianyang coughed dryly, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"Release the reconnaissance robots to scan the situation inside the temple first."
"Be careful, there may be dark people in the temple. I just saw a figure flash by."
Hearing Tianyang's words, Yinmeng and other Silver Knights became alert. Several soldiers each carried a mechanical box and came forward to release the reconnaissance robots inside.
This is a reconnaissance tool made by Castle of Glory with technology provided by Castle of Sky.
They were metal balls the size of apples, which the soldiers rolled toward the temple gates and activated.
These reconnaissance robots immediately rolled on their own and soon disappeared at the entrance of the temple.
Yin Meng came over, holding an electronic board with windows on the screen.
Each window represents a camera built into the reconnaissance unit, through which people can understand the situation in the temple.
Not long after entering the temple, there was a statue with only half of it left. It should be a statue of a god, but unfortunately the upper half had turned into a pile of rubble, making it difficult to piece together its original appearance.
Looking at the lower body, the gods worshipped by this city also have human features, rather than other strange shapes.
After entering the temple, under the light provided by the reconnaissance unit, Tianyang saw many words engraved on the wall, none of which he recognized.
But I think, since it is engraved in the temple, it should be some kind of doctrinal text.
In addition to the text, there are actually some battle patterns. Each of those patterns is different, and each pattern has a different fighting posture.
Ordinary people may not think there is anything special about these patterns, and may just think of them as some simple self-defense techniques.
But in the eyes of a strong man like Tianyang, he could interpret a lot of content.
"Master Tianyang, the postures of these battle patterns are very refined and have certain connections with each other. If the target is also a human, the battle moves performed according to this set of postures will make it difficult for the opponent to counterattack for a while."
"Only after we survive this round of attacks can we find an opportunity to counterattack."
Even though Yin Meng is only at rank 6, she has a lot of experience in combat. Plus, she comes from the church, so her vision is certainly not bad.
After she looked at several of the patterns, she came to a similar conclusion as Tianyang.
Tian Yang nodded: "This should be a fighting technique practiced by the people inside the temple. The movements are refined and powerful."
"If it is used by an Ascended One who is at the God of War level, its power will be even greater."
"Strange, I thought in a city like this, they relied more on guns than fighting skills."
“But I didn’t expect that they could create such smooth striking techniques.”
Yin Meng said happily: "Sir, let's record these patterns and let the soldiers practice them when we return. No, all Ascendants below rank 4 can practice them."
“It will greatly improve their striking skills.”
Tianyang nodded without objection.
As the reconnaissance unit continued to move deeper, Tianyang and his team soon saw another statue.
This statue looks a bit weird.
The head of the statue is very big, different from that of ordinary people.
The eyes are huge and oval in shape.
The torso is thin and disproportionate to the head.
The upper body is humanoid, while the lower body is like a python.
In addition, there is a pair of huge wings spread out behind the statue.
It is the wings of birds.
This strange statue has its hands spread out, and above its hands there are books, guns, some kind of transportation, strange symbols and other items.
These items are fixed with special tools and hung from the dome of the temple, distributed in an orderly manner above the palms of the statue.
It looked like the gods were performing miracles for mankind.
Yin Meng looked at the statue and said, "The large head and small body suggest that the god values wisdom over force. The things displayed on the hands should be the blessings that the god has brought to mankind."
"I don't know if this statue was carved by people based on their imagination. Or maybe..."
Having said that, Yin Meng stopped talking.
Tianyang understood what she meant.
If it is not carved from imagination, it is modeled after a specific person.
If it is the latter.
Doesn't this mean that the residents of this world had already come into contact with gods before falling into eternal night
Of course, it is also possible that it is not a god.
But a life of higher civilization.
Just as their attention was attracted by the statue, suddenly, several windows on the electronic board disappeared one after another, and a prompt appeared that the reconnaissance unit was offline.
Yin Meng immediately looked towards Tian Yang.
Tianyang smiled and said, "It seems that the things in the temple don't welcome us."
Yin Meng snorted softly, put down the electronic board, and ordered a team of soldiers to follow him in.
Tianyang did not stop him and asked another Silver Knight for an electronic board. He found that the number of reconnaissance units offline was increasing.
So he changed the connection and connected to the visualization equipment of Yinmeng's team of soldiers, and saw them going deep into the temple.
After passing the half-destroyed stone statue, a shadow suddenly pounced towards the team.
Under the light, Tian Yang could see through the camera that this was a creature with a head and height of more than two and a half meters. It looked like an orangutan, with two blood-red fangs sticking out of its mouth.
There are armor-like bones on its body protecting important parts, and behind it, at the front of its tail, there is a flat head like a venomous snake!
